Celebrating 100 years at the FAC
You're only as old as you feel.
Welcome to the next 100

SEE FOR YOURSELF.
World of WearableArt™
Where Fashion And Art Collide.
The 32 award-winning garments presented in this exhibition represent some of the most original, provocative, and unorthodox objects in the World of WearableArt™ Museum collection.
This year marks the 31st anniversary of New Zealand’s largest arts show – World of WearableArt™, an international design competition, that challenges artists from across the globe to take art off the wall and adorn it onto the human form.
“Think of an Alexander McQueen show meets the Nutcracker on crack and then take it up a notch.” –Huffington Post
